Weight loss :)

[Rexy]

Any info on stripped out nova weights?

Just bored and wanted to know who has the lightest nova and what your power:weight is.

Im sure there must be some Sub 700kg novas on here

[Plug]

oli (dhdev) i think is the litest (sp?)

well was before it was broke

[Benn]

Olis was 650 was it?

[loggyboy]

There was one on the cover of TV a few years back claiming 600.

I managed 740 with metal wings, standard seats (v.heavy) and a redtop.

I should imagine sub 700 would have been very reachable with some FG buckets and polycarb windows.

[Rexy]

woo 650 is very light.

Yeah thats the one. High **** in the air for a drag style of weight distribution.

[dhdev (Oli)]

Mine was 625kg's before I stripped it, even lighter now PMSL. Lee Hearseys wasn't lighter AFAIK.

[jonn]

how much would mine way? stripped out interior/ dash/ 2 bucket seats/ side poly carb windows/ 1.6 16v engine

[burgo]

no one can tell you tha john. we could guess but the easiest way is to get to a weigh bridge.

just worked out the estates power to weight ratio. 83bhp/ton :)

[Plug]

/\ lol

whats mine? standard 1L nova

740kgs with about 46 BHP IIRc

[burgo]

about 63 per ton

[twistysnovagte]

the one colin(novarally) has just bought(1.oltr turbo) is pretty light

Mine is 595kg, I am not aware of there having been a lighter Nova, unless a spaceframe has been used.

[Plug]

/\ now thats a light nova

[dhdev (Oli)]

I always planned to get sub 600kgs, I reckon 550kgs is about the ceiling without going really crazy (spaceframe etc). Colin, your's sounds pretty special :)

Take the cage out, or would it turn to jelly? lol

That wasnt Lee's Loggyboy is referring to, it was a Courtenay turbo'd XE, Red GTE, far too 'clean' to be Lee's. Though Lee's must be pretty light, not forgetting the carbon doors. :thumb:

My bad, wasn't aware of this turbo'd one. Although I am doubtful that a turbo'd XE would be so light :tard:

autograss class 2 nova's are about 600Kg but I have heard of some that were 590 and they still managed to take some more weight out!

[Ben]

but tbh when your down as light as that level the drivers weight is more of an issue!

[Sloth]

there is a lad doing autogras up here thats using a flip fron (carbonfibe) and cf panels, hes claiming 480kg.

Im aiming for 600KG with 280bhp N/A :p

[djbrowney]

old nova used to be 680kg and 173 bhp drove like a sack of **** though lol

[burgo]

[scott.parker]

Now this man's on the ball! lol

I would be happy if mine is about 780-820 kgs

As im sure the weight i took out went back in with the cage etc...
